[Agora Object] A 957: Well Head

Parts of rim and nearly a quarter of wall missing; restored in plaster. A cylindrical drum, tapering around top. Heavy rim, flat on top and sharply profiled; lower wall thickened to form heavy collar ... 28 May-16 June 1938 ... At the inner edge of the rim there are some traces of rope wear.
